There aren't any bulbs to burn out noob, plus you don't have to remove the dash to take out the cluster. Check for any blown fuses on the driver's side fuse panel.

Opps, sorry i knew it was led, i donno why i said bulbs, i just havent experienced problems with led, since the last ohh id say 120 to the end of the speedo is light but the rest isnt. I wasnt sure what to do but i will check for blown fuses.

Well that almost never happens in the speedo, but if there isn't any blown fuses you're gonna have to live with it or change the entire cluster for around $700

Mine is the same way. Makes it hard to see what speed your going at night time and it is really irritating...

Not a fuse if it's partially working. Sounds like you'll need a new cluster. Junkyard it for $150.
